Windows Phone ControlTemplate & Converter : problem loading BitmapImage from Image Resource in assembly

Windows Phone ControlTemplate & Converter : problem loading BitmapImage from Image Resource in assembly - c#

This is basically a follow up to my previous question.
I've managed to make this work with the templates, however, I want to make it a bit generic, so that I don't have to go around repeating code all over the place
The working version (hardcoded) is this :
<UserControl.Resources>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="TrebleCheckboxImageTemplate" TargetType="CheckBox">
<Image x:Name="imgTreble" MinWidth="100" Source="Images/treble_checked.png">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CheckStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Checked">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetName="imgTreble" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Image.Source)">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<BitmapImage UriSource="Images/treble_checked.png" />
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Unchecked">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetName="imgTreble" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Image.Source)">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<BitmapImage UriSource="Images/treble_unchecked.png" />
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Indeterminate"/>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
</Image>
</ControlTemplate>
</UserControl.Resources>
<StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}" Orientation="Horizontal">
<CheckBox Height="72" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Background="White" VerticalAlignment="Top" Template="{StaticResource TrebleCheckboxImageTemplate}" Margin="0,0,10,0" >
<Custom:Interaction.Triggers>
<Custom:EventTrigger EventName="Click">
<GalaSoft_MvvmLight_Command:EventToCommand CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=IsChecked}" Command="{Binding TreblePressedCommand}"/>
</Custom:EventTrigger>
</Custom:Interaction.Triggers>
</CheckBox>
</StackPanel>
Of course, the image paths are hardcoded. So, i wanted to make it generic, so that you could just instantiate a checkbox, tell it it's image, and the template would be the same for all.
I created an ImageCheckbox control class :
public class ImageCheckbox : CheckBox
{
/// <summary>
/// The <see cref="CheckedImagePath" /> dependency property's name.
/// </summary>
public const string CheckedImagePathPropertyName = "CheckedImagePath";
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the value of the <see cref="CheckedImagePath" />
/// property. This is a dependency property.
/// </summary>
public string CheckedImagePath
{
get
{
return (string)GetValue(CheckedImagePathProperty);
}
set
{
SetValue(CheckedImagePathProperty, value);
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Identifies the <see cref="CheckedImagePath" /> dependency property.
/// </summary>
public static readonly DependencyProperty CheckedImagePathProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
CheckedImagePathPropertyName,
typeof(string),
typeof(ImageCheckbox),
new PropertyMetadata(null));
/// <summary>
/// The <see cref="UnCheckedImagePath" /> dependency property's name.
/// </summary>
public const string UnCheckedImagePathPropertyName = "UnCheckedImagePath";
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the value of the <see cref="UnCheckedImagePath" />
/// property. This is a dependency property.
/// </summary>
public string UnCheckedImagePath
{
get
{
return (string)GetValue(UnCheckedImagePathProperty);
}
set
{
SetValue(UnCheckedImagePathProperty, value);
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Identifies the <see cref="UnCheckedImagePath" /> dependency property.
/// </summary>
public static readonly DependencyProperty UnCheckedImagePathProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
UnCheckedImagePathPropertyName,
typeof(string),
typeof(ImageCheckbox),
new PropertyMetadata(null));
}
I created a converter (because I ran into the problem that I must convert the string to be the Uri for the image source)
public class StringToImageConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
if (value == null)
{
return null;
}
if (!UriParser.IsKnownScheme("pack"))
{
UriParser.Register(new GenericUriParser
(GenericUriParserOptions.GenericAuthority), "pack", -1);
}
if (value is string)
{
var image = new BitmapImage();
image.UriSource = new Uri(String.Format(#"pack://application:,,/Images/{0}", value as string));
//image.UriSource = new Uri(String.Format(#"pack://application:,,,/Adagio.Presentation;component/Images/{0}", value as string),UriKind.Absolute);
image.ImageFailed += new EventHandler<System.Windows.ExceptionRoutedEventArgs>(image_ImageFailed);
image.ImageOpened += new EventHandler<System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs>(image_ImageOpened);
return image;
}
if (value is Uri)
{
var bi = new BitmapImage {UriSource = (Uri) value};
return bi;
}
return null;
}
void image_ImageOpened(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
void image_ImageFailed(object sender, System.Windows.ExceptionRoutedEventArgs e)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
you can see that the converter has been tried with thousands of different combinations, none of them work...
Then, the new xaml :
<ControlTemplate x:Key="CheckboxImageTemplate" TargetType="Controls:ImageCheckbox">
<Image x:Name="imgForTemplate" MinWidth="100" Source="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},Path=CheckedImagePath, Converter={StaticResource stringToImageConverter}}">

</StackPanel>
I've tried to make it all work at first, but I don't seem to even get the first Source property of the image to load. The commented part (VisualStateManager states) doesn't work either, but i think it must be the same problem.. in this case I'd need a converter to return an Uri instead of a BitmapImage, because UriSource is of type Uri, and Source is of type Image.
I'm getting errors in the converter, where I can't load the images (always falling into the image_imageFailed event). I've set the images as resources in the assembly... what am i doing wrong?? this is driving me crazy!!!!
[EDIT] : I've tried doing as suggested, and changed the dependency property to Uri, but I can't get it to work
If i say
<Controls:ImageCheckbox CheckedImagePath="Images/treble_checked.png" UnCheckedImagePath="Images/treble_unchecked.png" Height="72" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Template="{StaticResource CheckboxImageTemplate}" Margin="0,0,10,0" >
and in the template's VisualState :
<BitmapImage UriSource="{Binding Path=UnCheckedImagePath, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" />
it tells me that the xaml isn't valid and get an error. If i use TemplateBinding like this :
<BitmapImage UriSource="{TemplateBinding UnCheckedImagePath}" />
it doesn't complain, but the image doesn't load (appear blank). I think i'm getting close, but still haven't found the solution...
[EDIT 2] : last try...
usage :
<StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Controls:ImageCheckbox Style="{StaticResource TheImageCheckboxStyle}" CheckedImagePath="Images/treble_checked.png" UnCheckedImagePath="Images/treble_unchecked.png" Height="72" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,0,10,0" >

<Custom:EventTrigger EventName="Click">
<GalaSoft_MvvmLight_Command:EventToCommand CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=IsChecked}" Command="{Binding TreblePressedCommand}"/>

Have you considered changing the type of CheckedImagePath to Uri, and just binding directly to that, instead of creating a BitmapImage ?
As I see it, your code is vastly overcomplicating a simple binding.
Edit: Here's how I would do it (working example)
Use Example
<local:ImageCheckBox HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
CheckedImagePath="CheckedImage.png"
Content="CheckBox"
UnCheckedImagePath="UnCheckedImage.png" />
C#
public partial class ImageCheckBox // NameSpace: MyControls
{
public ImageCheckBox()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public const string CheckedImagePathPropertyName = "CheckedImagePath";
public Uri CheckedImagePath
{
get
{
return (Uri)GetValue(CheckedImagePathProperty);
}
set
{
SetValue(CheckedImagePathProperty, value);
}
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty CheckedImagePathProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register(CheckedImagePathPropertyName,
typeof(Uri), typeof(ImageCheckBox), new PropertyMetadata(null));
public const string UnCheckedImagePathPropertyName = "UnCheckedImagePath";
public Uri UnCheckedImagePath
{
get
{
return (Uri)GetValue(UnCheckedImagePathProperty);
}
set
{
SetValue(UnCheckedImagePathProperty, value);
}
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty UnCheckedImagePathProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register(UnCheckedImagePathPropertyName,
typeof(Uri), typeof(ImageCheckBox), new PropertyMetadata(null));
}

change the background of a border when checkbox ischecked

i am able to change the color of border background using checked event and manually changing background color every-time radio button is checked/unchecked , but i want to achieve the same using converter or visual states manager or any other efficient way, so how to achieve it .here is the xaml
<Border x:Name="br1" Background="Blue" >
<RadioButton Checked="radio1_Checked" x:Name="radio1" />
</Border>
<Border x:Name="br2" Background="Blue" >
<RadioButton Checked="radio2_Checked" x:Name="radio2" />
</Border>
i want to change the color of border background whenever radio-button is checked and unchecked so how to achieve it

There are several different solutions possible, depending on the amount of work, flexibility and re-usability you're looking after.
EDIT: Code below is for Windows (Phone) 8.1 RT and not for Windows Phone Silverlight. Leaving it here for future reference though, as Silverlight will be replaced by Windows Runtime on Windows 10 anyway.
As the standard RadioButton already has a border built-in its visual tree, and for highest flexibility and re-usability I've created a custom control (called Templated Control in Visual Studio item templates) derived from the RadioButton.
I provided a CheckedBrush and UncheckedBrush (default Red/Transparent) so you can customize to your wish. Setting one of these values in XAML will override the default values.
The code of the custom control:
public sealed class MyRadioButton : RadioButton
{
public MyRadioButton()
{
this.DefaultStyleKey = typeof(MyRadioButton);
UnCheckedBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Transparent);
CheckedBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
this.Checked += (sender, args) =>
{
this.CustomBackground = CheckedBrush;
};
this.Unchecked += (sender, args) =>
{
this.CustomBackground = UnCheckedBrush;
};
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty CustomBackgroundProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"CustomBackground", typeof (Brush), typeof (MyRadioButton), new PropertyMetadata(default(Brush)));
public static readonly DependencyProperty CheckedBrushProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"CheckedBrush", typeof(Brush), typeof(MyRadioButton), new PropertyMetadata(default(Brush)));
public static readonly DependencyProperty UnCheckedBrushProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"UnCheckedBrush", typeof(Brush), typeof(MyRadioButton), new PropertyMetadata(default(Brush)));
public Brush CustomBackground
{
get { return (Brush) GetValue(CustomBackgroundProperty); }
set { SetValue(CustomBackgroundProperty, value); }
}
public Brush CheckedBrush
{
get { return (Brush) GetValue(CheckedBrushProperty); }
set { SetValue(CheckedBrushProperty, value); }
}
public Brush UnCheckedBrush
{
get { return (Brush) GetValue(UnCheckedBrushProperty); }
set { SetValue(UnCheckedBrushProperty, value); }
}
}
Next step is providing the style in the Themes/Generic.xaml file, this is a slightly tweaked style (for the background) from the default RadioButton style:
<Style TargetType="local:MyRadioButton">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource RadioButtonContentForegroundThemeBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="1,4,0,0" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left" />
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Top" />
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{ThemeResource ContentControlThemeFontFamily}" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{ThemeResource ControlContentThemeFontSize}" />
<Setter Property="Template">

The only things changed from the default template is dropping the Background property and changing the Background on the Border control.
You're all set to use it:
<StackPanel Margin="100">
<RadioButton Content="Check 1" />
<local:MyRadioButton CheckedBrush="Blue" Content="Check 2" />
<local:MyRadioButton CheckedBrush="Green" Content="Check 3" />
</StackPanel>

I would implement a view-model class (see MVVM pattern) and implement two DependencyPropery's one with the checkbox-state and one with the border-color. Bind the corresponding XAML attributes to these properties using data-binding. When checkbox-state changes also raise the PropertyChanged event for the border color. Done.

ComboBox-> adding this little triangle on the right

When using standard ComboBox in xaml in WindowsPhone application you get ComboBox which does not look like an old style ComboBox i.e. it does not have this little triangle on the right.
Can anyone point me to example, or give me a hint or solution:
How do we add this little triangle to ComboBox control.
All I need is to make ComboBox look like:
Thank you!

This is the default styling for a Windows Phone ComboBox:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/jj709912.aspx
The x:name="DropDownGlyph" is what you are looking for. It looks like the symbol you want to display is &#57361. If it isn't showing up it could be a styling somewhere else you are using that is overriding the default.

Near the top you notice an image control. I have manually set it it to an image before. Now I want to databind the image source. Unfortunately I have no idea where/how to do it.

Your code is correct. The only thing you have to do now is to add a DependencyProperty called imgSource (see line 17 of the button style) in your class and set:
this.DataContext = this;
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public string imgSource
{
get { return (string)GetValue(imgSourceProperty); }
set { SetValue(imgSourceProperty, value); }
}
// Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for imgSource. This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
public static readonly DependencyProperty imgSourceProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("imgSource", typeof(string), typeof(MainWindow));
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = this;
imgSource=#"your_image_url";
}
}
Or add the property in your view model.

Strange Cross inside TextBox

Have a problem with TextBox. If I set property TextWrap like NoWrap, I see a cross inside my TextBox. Can I delete or hide this cross?
UPD: Solution for my problem :
Set TextWrap like Wrap
I use FontSize 72px, and I set Height for my TextBox 72px.
And it will look like your TextBox without multiline and cross inside.

The cross is the DeleteButton that is built into the default template which if you look at it in that link and go to the bottom of the default template you'll see the DeleteButton Button at the bottom of the template. You can remove it there or the way I showed in the last post. :)
To get to the template (quickest way) is right-click your TextBox and choose "Edit Template" and then either edit a copy (which will put the template in your window.resources) and define it explicitly or edit the original template.
PS- You might add the image you had in your last post to this one for the viewers at home.
EDITED FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND SANITY
Here dude, here's a copy of the default template with the button removed. Just put it in your UserControl.Resources, or Window.Resources, or Application.Resources, or just somewhere it can be found as a StaticResource.

Disabling hover options for sliders in metro apps

I'm writing a simple metro app in C# which uses sliders. The problem is that sliders change the foreground color, when the pointer is over it. How can I disable it? This is very annoying, because it destroys my visual concept of the application.
<Slider x:Name="SlidProgress" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,-3,0,80" Grid.Row="2" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="1920" Height="58" Foreground="#FF0BA4C4" IsRightTapEnabled="False" ValueChanged="SlidProgress_ValueChanged" ManipulationMode="All" ManipulationStarted="SlidProgress_ManipulationStarted" ManipulationCompleted="SlidProgress_ManipulationCompleted" IsDoubleTapEnabled="False"/>

You need to customize the Slider's style. Below given is default style. You just need to comment out PointerOver visual state. This solution is for Win8 apps. Let me of you want for 8.1 or 8.
<Style TargetType="Slider">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource SliderTrackBackgroundThemeBrush}" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource SliderBorderThemeBrush}" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="{StaticResource SliderBorderThemeThickness}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource SliderTrackDecreaseBackgroundThemeBrush}" />
<Setter Property="ManipulationMode" Value="None" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Slider">
<Grid Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}">

<Style TargetType="Thumb" x:Key="SliderThumbStyle">
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource SliderThumbBorderThemeBrush}" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource SliderThumbBackgroundThemeBrush}" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Thumb">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

If you are using more than one Slider and want to remove PointerOver effect in all, you don't need to create custom style but change the following SolidColorBrush key's values to transparent or any relevant color.
SliderTrackPointerOverBackgroundThemeBrush
SliderThumbPointerOverBackgroundThemeBrush
SliderThumbPointerOverBorderThemeBrush
SliderTrackDecreasePointerOverBackgroundThemeBrush
e.g.
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="SliderTrackPointerOverBackgroundThemeBrush" Color="Transparent" />
